Yeah, I agree. Garcia's character in this movie annoyed the hell out of me. Especially when he had that annoying looking smirk on his face during the car chase scene & on the bridge near the end of the movie. I felt for his character that he wanted to save his kid, but in the process he risked the lives of literally 100's of others in the process. A few even died because of him. I get that's what the name of the movie is based on, that he goes through desperate measures to try to save his son, but the movie made me kind of route for Keaton's character instead due to Garcia being so selfish & not thinking about other peoples lives when he was supposed to be the good guy. He's supposed to be the protagonist, but at times he felt like a villain. Of course Keaton was a psychopath, but we know that from the beginning so we know he's going to do awful things in the film before he even does them.
You might think I disliked this movie, but I didn't. I think it's a fun action movie with a great performance from Michael Keaton. His performance alone makes this movie worth watching, but I just wish they could have made Garcia's character more likable instead of annoying the hell out of me at times.
